I finished another book yesterday! It was, as the title of this blog suggests, The Birth Book by Robert & Martha Sears. It was a great book. I highly recommend it. The only problem I saw was that it is in need of revision to make it up-to-date. I think it would be good to use in conjunction with other books.
It was very good at showing how a good relationship can be fostered between "natural" childbirth and "technical" childbirth. Though informed decision-making, one should never feel regret for using technology in childbirth. There are always risks and benefits to medical interventions, which should be considered, but one should be open to utilize what is necessary to have a good birth experience with good outcomes.
It was nice to see a childbirth book written by a nurse and pediatrician who had both hospital and home births. Their opinions seemed to be very moderate and well-thought-out.
